Semi Into Lake off Hwy 20; Road Partially Blocked

A Semi went off Hwy 20 and into Clear Lake about 6:22 a.m., according to the CHP Traffic Incident Information Page.

For a short time, both lanes of Hwy 20 were blocked. Now one-way traffic control is in place. Prepare for delays.

Below is a map of the area that the CHP site says is the site of the accident.

UPDATE 8:35 a.m.: According to the CHP page, less than five gallons of diesel spilled into the Lake. The local fire department is working on this.

Dangerous section of road, with a large water hazard! Slow down and resist the urge to water-ski in your vehicle…

I don’t think trying to dock his truck worked out well.

Don’t big rig drivers have to pass driving tests any more? I’ve driven that road a hundred times. It’s not that difficult!

Kym, my particulars fell out of the site again, or have you 86’d me?

You should be 86ed so no one has to be subject to the ignorant comments you spout off.
